problem with defrag

I have Vista Basic on my laptop and can not defragment.  It analyses the disc and says I don't need to defragment.  When I click on the Defragment button starts, runs for a few minutes, then begins to analyze again.  Defragmentation never gets made.  I tried to run the error checking thing, but nothing has changed.

Hello lvework, welcome.

The problem you are experiencing is probably related to your drive being fragmented as well as Windows is unable to defragment it. I would suggest trying an alternative tool to start defragmentation and then switch back to Windows after a utility that. Basically, we will eliminate the problem.

1. download and install the free defragmentation utility called "Defraggler".
http://www.Defraggler.com/download/downloading

2. Once downloaded, install the utility and run it

3. its interface is quite simple, you select the drive you want to defragment, and then click "Defrag".

Run the tool once, then switch back to the Windows utility and see if you can start defragmentation.

Let us know,

Thank you!

  • Problem with iTunes gel preferences and other issues.

    I don't know why, but the week last iTunes randomly decided to not work: whenever I try to open the preferences panel it hangs and release only randomly after a few minutes only to freeze again when I change the tabs. Also, all devices that I connect so that open freezes iTunes, yet once it thaws in itself rarely after waiting an hour or more but crashes again soon after.

    I tried everything short of wiping the disk and start from scratch (not an option to be honest): followed every single link help I found on Apple's site, used several malware scanner, defragmented, made several clean install iTunes and its components.

    I'm on an ASUS N53SV win 10, latest version, all the updated drivers. I don't really know what else remains.

    For general advice, see troubleshooting problems with iTunes for Windows updates.

    The steps described in the second case are a guide to remove everything related to iTunes and then rebuild what is often a good starting point, unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach.

    Review the other boxes and other support documents list to the bottom of the page, in case one of them applies.

    More information area has direct links with the current and recent buildings if you have problems to download, must revert to an older version or want to try the version of iTunes for Windows (64-bit-for old video cards) as a workaround for problems with installation or operation, or compatibility with QuickTime software or a third party.

    Backups of your library and device should be affected by these measures but there are links to backup and recovery advice there.

  • Satellite Pro L20-someone ' one can tell me if I have a problem with the screen?

    Hello

    I have a Pro L20 - PSL25E and I recently had problems with the screen, it was intermittently flickering/lose color and whiting almost (when the color fades white vertical lines begin to appear).
    This seemed to worsen after that I dropped it (only from about 2 feet off the ground, not a big drop).

    I thought that the sceen can go, but the performance of the laptop seems to be affected when this happens, the laptop started to run very slow (tracks mouse slowly, programs I clicked take ages to run and it freezes sometimes to stop flashing) that had me thinking that it might be a virus or performance problem.

    My screen, drivers are updated, I did a full scan with McAfee, ran a clear-up system and a Defrag.

    I was wondering if anyone knew if it seemed to be a problem with the connections of the screen and would need replacement or if it could be repaired or if it were a performance problem?

    Any help would be great thank you appreciate!
    Rebecca.

    Looks like the graphics chip has a problem, which I think is a motherboard replacement.

    You can get a quote for repair to an authorized service provider. There is a list of ASP on the Toshiba site.

  • Problems with Vista OS SP2 after automatic updates: using OneCare; application of integrated keylogger HP CPU "HP SDP" made by IBM in Durham, North Carolina (?); corrupted Samsung print driver downloaded from the website of the company

    Entered possible hacker:

    1. techie OneCare WINS access - probably not unauthorized and do not believe it causes always provided a quality service, but they have had access in the past.

    2 HP technicians - have had access to my computer once - did a good job with computer crash (not sure cause), but tried to sell me more HP products when I have no money...

    3. after the technicians HP did good job with crash, started to have pop-ups keep HP application that appeared as an add-on that works without permissions on my computer. Google the name of the HP SDP application > recovered information said program is IBM in North Carolina. Called them. Nobody gives any information on the program until I got ahold of a person who gave me the phone to techie Dept. It took all day. Not have not yet contacted technology because they have closed before I could call.

    4. called HP to inquire about the search info from HP SDP. on his goal? HP said he works as a keylogger you sell stuff. But what was weird is after the system crashed and repaired, there was one day that he has opened three times in ten minutes! The behavior of the application has changed after my OS has been repaired. Then after that I indicated HP where I found information on this program, the program disappear from the list of "run without permissions" in internet options explore > manage add-ons > run without the permissions list

    5. one day, I'm working on a word document, and the printer stops abruptly, impression. No amount of turn, or by clicking 'Cancel' will get doc from the printer queue. MS literature said this could be a security issue. The printer says "printing of documents", but no printing at my end.

    This problem is compounded when I delete browsing history and try to refresh the internet Explorer. That activity seems to take pieces of the program Samsung printer with it, even if I had excellent results in the past with Samsung printers and their downloads, and I never had the damaged printer driver to exercise this activity in the past.

    If I didn't have a short term in the Court of appeal in a week, I would say it's a question of OS, or program problem, but it's as if something falls down as soon as another issue is fixed and the unusual behavior of the computer, more timing and the purpose of the brief to me 90% sure that this is a pirate or a virus the surplus of the Samsung driver deleted pieces being left on my machine after uninstall.

    Dear Karena R,.

    Thanks a lot for your excellent advice. The Techies MS OneCare fixed the popup of HP before I read your message. (I was remiss to check my email...). I'll follow the instructions you sent me and am running the OneCare security right now, online scanner that I already know an excellent and effective tool because it has repaired my MS operating system and programs after that I accidentally deleted parts of the operating system by removing a .dll file, I need or such a thing! I also wanted to thank you for the information about the object of the HP SDP pop-up window. I saved your instructions on how to remove this case, the pop up appears again. One thing I noticed is that, after removal, some keys on my keyboard don't work, and I've read that other HP users encounter the same problem with the keys on the keyboard. The keys that seem to be affected are the keys that automatically open and close the door of the CD burner. Not a problem, because it is another way to open and close the drawer. It's one that HP must improve. In regards to your advice on the printer driver you have been 'right on' new! I reinstalled the driver using my own CD (not the latest driver, but one that works!) I think that the problem with the update of the Samsung driver that I downloaded from the Web site doesn't have some kind of problem. It is very unusual for a driver to Samsung, because I got excellent results with printers Samsung and free updates downloaded from their Web site. The first Samsung printer I had worked so well, for so long as the small rubber roller that takes the paper and it feeds through the printer wore out until the printer is, literally in a 100,000 pages printed after that I bought for about $80.00 dollars! So, I went out and bought another one, and that's what I use now. The printer works fine now, except for some reason, the icon in my taskbar notification area, allow to check the printer the status of jobs, cancel or repeat printing as before. Once. from time to time, a job stuck in the queue for the printer and will not erase unless I unplug the printer from the central unit. Nor will it print. But since I reinstalled the driver, this has happened only once. With the downloaded update, it happened all the time. It is possible that my OS is misconfigured, but I started to run the routine tune ups and analyses using OneCare and unless I used to defragment. I learned that the defragmentation of the hard disk too can cause problems also. The last thing is, I think that sometimes, tiny files needed to run my OS and files other programs can be sent to my temporary folder by accident. MS still once, All_Knowing computer, somehow recognizes the files I need and pushes me to ignore them, but perhaps it does not work for non-Microsoft like Adobe programs. I will use the link in your message to run the fix with the printer driver just to see if it works. If it is not the case, I can always reinstall the driver with my CD that came with the printer. Thanks for the excellent and informative tips and forgive me if I do not respond sooner!

    Sincerely,

  • I have a problem with my HDD to fill without no reason.

    I have a problem with my HDD to fill without no reason.  I should have about 340 GB free and it reads now only 18 GB free.  Can I have found the culprit (Revo Uninstaller Pro) because he stop to fill in after I removed it.  I can't find where all the "whatever" went.  I don't see anything funny in the registry and cannot find the strange files on the C drive under computer.  I wouldn't mess with the registry too but I as I am limited in my understanding of what's there.  I scanned the hard drive with my Avast Anti Virus and the Microsoft Emergency scan engine and found nothing.  If someone could give me an idea of what happened and how to get my rear disc space, I would be grateful.

    Avoid Revo Uninstaller Pro software type (including the registry cleaners "" and system optimizer).
    Programs and features does the job quite well.
    -There is no advantage to playing in the registry.

    -First run Disk Cleanup defragment the HARD disk in order to have a 'clean' basis of work form.

    -Treesize will show exactly what is there and how much of it.

  • I am having some problems with Windows 8 randomlly slow operation.

    So the other day I was looking through internet and suddenly my computuer has been very slow, almost like the FPS lag in games. When I turn it on and it works normal for a little while then becomes slow. I tried a lot of things like CCleaner, Defrag, Malwarebytes, for turning on and off and some commands cmd, but I can't remember which. Can someone help me with this problem.

    The problem with cleaning products, is that you are 100% guarantee that your computer will be slower after use.

    Here's why: your computer has cached information it needs (creates a temporary copy).  When you use a product cleaning, you delete the cache (temporary files) and it has rebuilt their brand new from scratch - which is slow (it's why he tried to cache if it didn't build them!) and your computer to get slower and slower, causes each time that 'clean you '.

    I'll stop run the cleaners and stop all the caches of compensation.  You need people.

    The real cause of a slow computer, he is busy running a process (like reconstruction of a cache that you have deleted or deactivated).  Or it could be another process which is busy.  So to remedy this:

    1. Press Ctrl-SHIFT-ESC to display the Task Manager.
    2. Disable everything under the Startup tab, then restart
    3. Leave the computer and idle for a little while if it can end all caching for the indexes, superfetch and more.  You can use it during this time also, but it will end sooner if she is not alone.

    Then, if the slowness is returned, follow these steps:

    1. Press Ctrl-Shift-Escape again and look at the first tab.  Find something that uses a lot of CPU resources.  Programs that use the most CPU are programs causing the slowness.  Now, you know what programs are causing the problem, and you can quit the program, turn it off or do other things to speed up the return.

  • Problems with mail after switching to macOS Sierra

    Hey all

    After having recently upgraded to macOS Sierra, I am unable to read my mail.

    I get the following error every time I check on "Get Mail".

    There may be a problem with the mail server or the network. Check the account settings "*" or try again.

    The server returned the error: Mail could not connect to the server 'pop1.tribcsp.com' using SSL on the default ports. Verify that this server supports SSL and that your account settings are correct.

    What does this error message mean and how can I solve this problem.

    Thank you

    Hi Michael,

    I see your message that you get an error in the mail indicating that there is a problem with the mail server or the network.  To help get this problem resolved, I suggest that you follow the steps below:

    If mail refers to a problem with the mail server, or the network

    Mail will say that it is impossible to connect due to a problem with the mail server or the network. For example, the message may refer to a connection that has expired, or too many simultaneous connections:

    If you are connected to the Internet, but the connection has expired, your email provider might be affected by a discontinuance of service. Contact them or see their status Web page to ensure that their e-mail service is online. Examples of status pages:

    If the message indicates the number of simultaneous connections, too many of your devices is check your e-mail account at the same time. Quit Mail on one or more of your other devices.

    If you are still unable to send or receive e-mails

    1. Make sure that you have installed latest version of the Mac software updates, especially if the problem occurred immediately after the installation of a previous update.
    2. In OS X El Capitan or later version, you can see a status icon and the short error message in the upper right of the Mail window, under the search box. The message may indicate 'Network offline' or 'Connection failed', for example. Click the message to see more details on the issue.
    3. Check your connection to the Mail connection doctor. It might be able to say more on the issue.

    If you cannot send or receive e-mail on your Mac.

    Take care.
